We have news! Stanislaw's blog has won Dogmark.net's "Cool Dog Site of the Day" award! We can't thank you all enough for the nomination. It's such an honor to be recognized in this way. We hold up our right paws and promise to each of you that we will continue to work hard and do our very best. We couldn't be more excited!

We are doubly celebrating today, because we've been hard at work getting our web store up and running. While the human section of our site is still under construction, the dog feasting gear is ready to go! Stanislaw's new line is called "feast" and our tails are wagging overtime. Check out ourdog shirts -- and remember, proceeds will be donated to help animals in need.

In other news... our co-op order didn't arrive as planned on Saturday and so our big post complete with fresh meaty photos will have to be delayed for a day or two. The shipment is expected tomorrow afternoon, so brace yourselves for fresh posting deliciousness. Here's a tidbit of advice my humans learned: always have a week or two of extra food on hand. We had just enough to get us to our delivery date, but when that had to be delayed our people had to run out and get emergency supplies. Oops! Just goes to show that you should always be prepared. Stanislaw and I didn't mind though... we didn't miss a meal and the meatiness continued as usual.

The shirts look great. I especially like the Napping Pups shirt. I am fond of napping like the dog on the right side of the couch. I'm not sure I'd like wearing a shirt, though. It's awfully hot down here in Alabama. Maybe I'll borrow my mom's credit card and surprise her with a human version!

About Stanislaw

Hi, my name is Stanislaw and I'm a 5(ish) year old rescued cocker spaniel who eats an entirely raw diet. Some people call this diet "B.A.R.F." or "Prey Model", but I call it awesome. In fact, I'm feasting on a raw turkey neck right now. My blog chronicles my experiences with the raw diet and treatment for Canine Compulsive Disorder, and offers a peek into holistic pet care.

About Big Pupi

Heya feaster dudes. I'm Big Pupi - Stanislaw's brother-through-adoption. I am a 10(ish) year old rescued cocker spaniel and I am also a raw feaster extraordinaire. Stanislaw often lets me chime in on the blog to discuss the more science-y stuff, (I am the brains behind the operation after all), and at times I'll let you in on a little about my work as a therapy dog. Hope you enjoy our tasty posts!

Feasting Facts

My people are not experts, vets or scientists. The purpose of this blog is to describe my experience throughout my introduction and life on the raw diet. This is not medical advice. This is about fun and feasting on chicken wings.

Allergies and Intolerances

What makes a homemade diet so great? Not only is it without cheap fillers and chemicals, but it can be modified to fit any dog with any kind of food allergy or intolerance. Look at Pupi's and my lists of off-limit foods:

These items used to make our tummies sad, cause chronic ear infections, or make us itchy all over. But now that our diet is so simple to control, our humans can ensure that we never get these offending foods. Removing reactive items makes your immune system stronger, and makes for a healthier pup. Plus, by rotating proteins you can actually control your reactions, which for us meant that we could once again include poultry in our diet. As long as we don't get it more than once or twice a week, we're fine! Pretty amazing, right?
